interesting thread. some distinctions which are becoming more clear in my mind after reading peoples insightful posts:
arousal not to equal sexuality.
fantasy not to equal real life.
I am solo-sexual in rl, with hetero interests & tendancies but in fantasy i'm a sexual omnivore. Anything that arouses me I will follow till i lose interest and then return when it peaks interest. Furry, incest, bdsm, loli, shota, yuri, yaoi, preg, rpe, tod, feet, guro, etc, you can fill in the blanks with your kink and/or combine sub-categories. Do I want to experience all these fantasies that aroused me in rl??? HELL NO! It is fantasy for a reason. Much of fantasy being physically impossible, or having such lifestyle, legal, moral, societal, and health consequences I would never want it to occur in rl. The fantasy allows my creative mind to exercise the liberty of going where it will and not suffer the consequence of f'ing up peoples lives in the process. If I am aroused by the fetish of the hour, I can indulge till I move on to something else. This means I get to see a lot of weird stuff. Some has turned my stomach, thank G it was fantasy. My imagination and the fantasy kingdom in my mind is far more strange that the real world can hold.
But fantasy is in rl...
Yeah, lovers don't only always think about their partners when in the act. All sorts of stuff comes up both real and fantasy; past partners, ideal partners, fetish, other real stuff. All attempts to full fill fantasy in real life fall short of what can be imagined. The mind can build up unattainable expectations.
So back to arousal and sexuality. There are so many variables I feel like we are trying to analyze one ripple in a lake during a hail storm. Arousal can be achieved by non sexual means; electrically, mechanically, chemically. Is sexuality what a person thinks, or what they do? If I had only hetero sex throughout my life would I be hetero? but fantasized about level 3 furries all the time would that mean my sexuality was different? How bout the current situation: I only fap to fantasy, and feel no need to interact with the flesh and bone real world in a sexual nor gender specific way? I must be a solo-sexual... Must I be?
right now I am also leaning toward the extended idea that
fantasy not to equal sexuality.
arousal not to equal real life.
